[dapper timber]

I am struggling to understand why people are calling microsoft interviews easy. From seeing the results, it clearly is not.

[queen moon]

did u have msft this week?

[dapper timber]

nope but will have it next week

but the results so far look scary

[dapper timber]

next tuesday

how about you?

[upper osprey]

i heard quite a few people go system design Qs

[dapper timber]

interesting
do you mean questions that are object oriented focus
or actual system design of distributed backend systems (i.e. load balancing, caching, replication)

I thought msft only asks system design for new grads and up

[upper osprey]

Here are a Qs someon got

How would you design the backend of a purchasing system for a product?

[upper osprey]

bro was a sophomore 😭

[dapper timber]

wow, it's crazy sophomores are being asked system design

hopefully they accept a relatively high level design explanation

• microservice architecture: split the backend into various services (product, payment, ordering, inventory) so each can be individually scaled to accommodate high user traffic
• Relational database (i.e. PostgreSQL) to store product information, as transactional consistency is essential
• Kafka or some sort of message queue to handle async updates to inventory (for example, when user buys product, inventory must decrease)

and some more details regarding an example user flow, REST API design, etc.

[rocky mulch]

Wym? Just two rejects out of 150+ interviews

[queen moon]

lol 150 is crazy

no way there's been 150 in the span of 3 days

[dapper timber]

who was the other one that got rejected?

I see only one msft reject after final in the process channel

n=1 so I might very well be wrong. I think we’ll just have to wait for more people to post results

[rocky mulch]

There was

80 Mondays kickoff call and 60 Wednesday one

[rocky mulch]

That’s right

In the past

[queen moon]

oh wow wtf im cooked

they r gonna fill

[rocky mulch]

Nah

They hire like 3k if I’m not wrong

We are at the

First / Second wave

[queen moon]

nvm

3k is insane

i didnt know that much

[dapper timber]

3k may be across all interns

number in software engineering might be closer to 2k
